Culture Essay
The Apple Does Not Fall Far From the Tree The family you grow up in defines your sense of character and background. These are some of the ingredients that give you a taste of culture. Culture provides a basis for one’s sense of normalcy, because anything outside of one’s culture is possibly considered a different way of life. How you were raised and where you were brought up defines a person’s culture. Culture can be defined for me by Am. Am is my Scottish grandmother. She raised six kids on her own through the great depression and both World Wars. She defined the way my dad grew up and therefore it defined the way I grew up. My culture is defined by my grandmother because she established a background and a way of life that my parents went by. My parents formulated my life around the equation that if I made the right choices that I would make something of myself. My parents never pushed me on any subject, but they always made me hesitate and reconsider to make the best choice. I always had to come up with it on my own. This defined my culture. My environment in my adolescence consisted of being in the open country. My culture would have been highly different from that of a city boy, and that is why I always hated the idea of becoming a city boy. Am lived right down the road from my family, and I spent most of my days roaming her farmland. My culture was that of being wild, rambunctious, outdoors, and imaginative. I was able to do many of the things that city boys could not do, because most of the ones that I knew were wrapped up in video games. Their culture was t.v. and social media and mine was climbing trees and riding horses. Yes, I love video games, but it was not part of my culture. Their style of living or culture was different to me. Am is the focal point of my culture because my heritage and background all comes from the stories she tells. Without Am I would not have a clear sense of the culture I came from
